i wonder how many are up in the atics, collecting dust. what a shame for the old amiga:confused:

I recently dug my A1200 out of my attic and dusted it off after about 8 years. It fired up OK but the hard drive was kaput so I replaced it with a CF kit. It has a Hawk memory board which I fitted in 1994 and would you believe that the RTC battery is still going strong and the clock had only lost around 10 minutes since I put it in the attic. Great machine and loving putting new stuff and games on it. So it is being used in my house in the UK.
 
I remember a game show in the UK called the Krypton Factor. The last in the series hosted by Gordon Burns was broadcast in 1995 and I was pleased to see they were using Amiga 1200s for a code cracking exercise.
